Lady Gaga’s ‘Joanne’ Arrives Early on Shelves in Europe Ahead of October 21 Release, Fans React

Lady Gaga's Joanne has surfaced slightly ahead of schedule — and it's all because of a retailer in Europe.

In case you haven't noticed the panicked shrieks and screams of Little Monsters from 'round the world on Twitter and beyond, Mother Monster's fifth solo studio LP (code name: #LG5) has arrived on the Internet a few days short of its October 21 release date.

According to fans, the physical edition already hit shelves early in Belgium and is freely available to purchase now — which is the same thing that happened when Britney Spears' Gloryhit shelves early at a Mexican retailer in August.
